2013 TL BWP SH-AWD 6MT Progress Thread
#82
I'm interested to see where the +35 falls on a 10.5... Haven't seen that done yet... Usually it's a +42... the +35 is reserved for the 9 inch wide wheel...
#84
I agree for the price, its amazing
I got 10.5 all around with +35, Grigio Metallic.
Just got the lower lip kit installed also!
I was thinking about going 255/35 but since the day i ordered, i been really considering going 245/35 and possibly a 5mm spacer.
I want super aggressive stance, rear fender pull will have to follow with the 5mm spacer i think.

Test fitted them today to see what I'm working with. Yea, definitely a fender roll. I'm prolly gonna roll it flat too. I didn't realize how much of a gap I have after the test fit. So I will play around with the height after I roll all 4 corners. I'll be installing the ball joints up front too to bring in the top. It's poking a little too much for my taste. Had a chance to compare the weight of these with tires and came out to 55.6 lbs. The 18" stockies came in at 52.9 lbs. For 20x10.5 cast wheels, I'm impressed. I think if I went with HP summer tires it would of shed a few more pounds. Couple of pics.

Thanks fellas, jbond I have 245/35 on and I personally think it fits perfect for my setup. I'm gonna be busy over the weekend to get Bella to look right. Even then I will still need to bring it to a shop to get the camber in.

Thanks purextc, it's coming along slowly but surely. I'm taking my time on this and I ran into a few setbacks. I'm in no rush, just need to make sure it's done right and don't screw anything up lol. Full shots will come shortly.
Me too Steven lol.

Got a chance to mount the new wheels a few days ago. The rear was rubbing a lot from the tabs after my initial drop. I shaved and bent the tabs and also brought it back up about a thread and so far no more rubbing. I still need to tweak the suspension; particually the camber but this is pretty close to where I want her to sit. So without further adieu, some pics. Sorry only cell phone lol. I will get better pics once I got her looking right and making some more changes.
How much gap I have left after it settled. Need an alignment once I work out the suspension.
At the playground lol
I love dat azz.
Some night shots.

Thanks fellas! And Zelaya, I hear ya on the wife and kids part.
I love driving Bella on the streets though , had a friend who saw me on the freeway saying he "broke his neck" looking at her lol. He said it don't even belong up here with our crappy roads. And I honestly cannot tell much of a difference with the new shoes on. Ride is every so slightly harsher. And I have the dampers set at 2 and 4. Stockies ride a lot smoother on the freeway though.

Thanks Vi3tguy, hmmm....aside from little mods here and there; the next big purchase is probably an exhaust system. I want a nice sound with little drone as possible. I was looking into the Megan one but last I check, they were in the testing/prototype stage. I'll have to contact them to find out what's going on.

Congrats on the '12 and thanks man. Buy the lipkit online from one of the vendors here and install it yourself. Saves a ton on labor costs. Instructions should be included and you do not need all the tools suggested. Just a power drill with the correct drill bits and a screwdriver. It's a little nerve wrecking drilling holes in the bumpers so make sure you do it right and are certain you want the lipkit on lol. The front bumper is the hardest part because it's on the heavier side. A helper will make things easier but not necessary. I never installed a lipkit before and thought it was relatively easy. Just take your time and be patient. GL and post pics!
